03480 [upload 2017] Engineering of Functional Skeletal Tissues [topics in Bone Biology] F. Bronner...

This is the 3rd in a series of reviews, centered on a single major topic of bone replacement (Vol. 1 Bone Formation, Vol. 2 Bone Resorption) written by acknowledged authorities in the field. The biology of stem cells and cell signals, knowledge needed to make stem cell engineered, bone tissue a reality and how to prevent bone allograft infection is discussed.

The molecular and cellular approaches to the relationship of joint and bone problems distinguish this from other books on the topic. Advances in bone and joint biology enable practitioners to approach clinical problems more comprehensively.

There is currently no single book with up to date information on osteoclast function and bone resorption. A useful collection of information, not readily available in a concentrated and convenient form on the market.
